MONTREAL — As financially troubled Bixi prepares to shut down for 2013, it has yet to provide a full picture of how it did in 2012.

Bixi will start removing bike-share docking stations on Nov. 12 and the entire system will shut down Nov. 15.

In a notice to members, Bixi said the city of Montreal requested the early removal of seven stations so it can begin closing bike paths.

The stations to be removed on Nov. 12 are on Boyer St. (at Rosemont Blvd., St-Zotique St., Jean-Talon Blvd. and Bélanger St.), as well as on Milton St. (at Durocher St., University St. and du Parc Ave.).

Bixi has yet to provide its usual end-of-season wrap-up on its 2012 season on Montreal streets.

The service, controlled by the city of Montreal, also has not disclosed its financial statements for 2012.
